Heard this last week and had a knee jerk reaction of: Your wrong!!!!!!!!!

But think about it. God doesn't!

Was very interesting hearing a pastor say this out loud before he set it up with an explanation. Got everyone's attention real quick!

you just get more and more wierd

remember now,take the pills in the one marked SUN.

Okay, is see the bait, what are you trolling around for now?

A payment is required for your sin!

If you are a Christian? Why are you?

Romans 6:23 KJVS
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Next you'll say your pastor said we sin so much God replaced the wage rate with a salary.

Nope

Psalm 103:12 KJVS
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Your "sin" is not forgiven. "You" are forgiven through Jesus Christ and His "death" on cross.

Replaced "you" with his Son Jesus Christ if you accept.. Wage for your sin remains the same.

.

I get what your saying bmall, but I keep these type of conversations too the already saved myself, or else we get a lot of response like the ones above!
It's freely given but there was a price played for forgivness.

If you love me you'll keep my comandments.

Lots of folks look over that one too say it's ALL grace, if you don't want too follow his teaching are you just useing him as fire insurance! Or do you love your creator do you love Christ!

I found it interesting too look into what the Hebrew word for believe is. Folks who believe in Jesus generally believe in Satan so do we really just need to believe or is there more too it. If you've never looked in to Hebrew believe you should, too me it explained what my gut told me forever.
Good stuff bmall

So how do I inform the unsaved? Or be salt and light?

Testify Brian!


Our sins are washed away with the blood of Christ.


You keep walking your path brother.

Not to hijack your thread, but I know you’d enjoy this. My brother in law and 199 others were baptized this weekend at the church he goes to near Glen Burnie Maryland. It’s a little different type church than I’m used to but, it was a great thing to attend.

I wasn't chastising you. I've personally found that the unsaved i.e. people who've never even read the Bible have a real tough time with more complex concepts.
I mean what you just said is pretty complex for a lot of church goers and would tick a lot of them off! You know most folks are feed John 3:16 and that's it! There are a lot of hungry sheep out there!
Your getting into some real meat eatting.im glad you did! I only said I tend not too, cause it with me atleast it only goes down a rabbit hole and I'm afraid does no good.i do on occasion when I'm led too! And it usually ends in an argument. So i keep it a tuch more simple then elaborate when im asked.Again please don't yell and get mad at me I was just saying. If you'll notice I agreed with you and said I liked it!
And I'm glad you posted it! Your being the light just saying anything about Christ in this dark and drery world.

Our sins were put on Christ, He paid the price, a ransom to return us to the Father

To believe in Him, means you believe He is the son of GOD, and if you believe He is, then you follow His teachings


But as believers we are not to hold unbelievers to our standard, I should only expect other believers to live by His teachings

Mall's a closet Jehovah.
